Pre-filled Google Forms Mean Less Mistakes

Google Forms is a great way to collect data, especially email address at the beginning of the year. The problem my students were having was typing in .com instead of .org or just spelling the domain of their email address wrong. Lucky for me and my students there is a way to have a Google Form already filled in. For example, when the students go to the form it already has @school.org filled in.

To create pre-filled form open your form and click on "Responses" and choose "Get pre-filled URL."

This will bring up a version of your form. Input what you would like to be pre-filled in and then click submit. The new URL at the top of the page is the URL for the pre-filled out version of your form. That is the URL you give to your students.
